Do not sacrifice yourself to help others. Increase yourself to help others. Your service and caregiving is a gift that should be nurtured and preserved. Be intentional and diligent about your own self care. - Beverly Kyer @AlabamaSCA #compassionfatigue #selfcare

Discussion on #compassionfatigue today with @AlabamaSCA Critical Issues Conference is so timely for what so many educators, including myself, are feeling right now. We can’t keep going in survival mode.
